Fairy cakes

I gave Benjamin a class in baking today. We made fairy cakes and I even let him lick some off the spoon. I talked him through the steps and even lowered the bowl while I was whisking it, although this caused a bit of the mixture to fly out, ho hum.

I have to admit that my first batch came out rather more solid than I would have liked. I realised I used the wrong recipe though (I used the fat free swiss role one...not recommended). Benjamin didn't seem to mind though, he woofed one down, so no fussy eaters in my house!

I then used the fairy cake recipe from my school recipe book. These cakes have turned out a lot better. If you would like the recipe please email me.

I wonder whether Benjamin will become the next Jamie Oliver?!
